SWAN MEAT – FLESH WORLD (MMO and Anime Music But Cool)
Man that’s a great cover. It’s like totally anime and MMO or something, but the good stuff only. So that’s one-line intro, or two-line rather, for today because combining anime and MMO music into something worthy of transcending background music is exactly what FLESH WORLD is about. SWAN MEAT I’ve known for some years […]

Necrobode – Sob o Feitiço do Necrobode (WARsome Metal)
I’m either going through a phase or this type metal is just always good. I know you all call it “war metal” but since it’s so awesome I like to call it “warsome metal.” The term will never stick, but I can claim it as my own. So Necrobode I’ve heard, and they’ve screamed […]

On Thorns I Lay – Threnos (Melodideathdoom Lol I’m a Writer)
I’m starting to realize Lifeforce Records has this “thing” with melodic metal bands who absolutely kill in the production and presentation. Sometimes setting a niche for yourself is good, except with pornogrind. Just let those fools have their netlabels and their weird community of drum machine, family-in-the-audience shows. So back to melodic metal, in […]

SUUM – Cryptomass (Not Total Ass Italian Doom)
Okay Italy, okay, there is hope, after all. In case you missed it, which I know you did, I’ve been ripping on Italian doom metal over the past couple years because pretty much any submission I’ve gotten from the country in said genre has been total ass. The primary reason is this strange tendency […]

Frayle – 1692 (Bitter Doom for the Broken Soul)
Most doom is satisfied thematically with smoking or taking drugs, tossing tabletop RPG dice, witch stuff, or plain sloth. They don’t hide it, either, and with a simple name or cover you know exactly what to expect and you’re both disappointed and not. But as of late female-fronted doom has been a particular favorite […]
Sarcator – Visions of Purgatory (Former Metallica Worship Blackened Thrash)
Finland seems to be the experimental mecca of metal these days, but what about Sweden? It’s tucked there in the middle between that and koovoolt Norway. You certainly know Sweden’s hailed as the mecca of WTF metal with bizarre vocal delivery, complex solo passages, and the like, but never really fully experimental. So it’s […]

Sobranie 8 18 – S/T (No Annoying ASCII Symbols Witch House)
Yeah I needed some witchery in my lifedeath and this just happened to pop in the promos only a few days before it officially drops. Good. You metal, punk, death thrash, and whatever else clowns need to lose your lucidity once in awhile and melt away. Sit back, listen, brain bleed, absorb. Get the […]

Black Royal – Firebride (Death Blues is Legit)
To be honest when I heard these guys billed as “death blues” I was like isn’t that just another name for nu-metal? Then I realized Black Royal is from Finland so that isn’t possible because, yet again, they prove the country’s quickly becoming the realm of genre-bending in metal. Too bad Finnish hardcore has […]

Folian – Blue Mirror (Shoegaze Ouroboros)
Folian speaks volumes about dreaminess. I mean there’s a drowned or languid body on the cover floating in or washed up from the sea with hair twisted about the fingers. That alone makes you stare down at your shoes so far you turn in on yourself like an ouroboros. Talk about deep thoughts. Well, […]

Nattverd – Styggdom (Rot in Bed Black Metal)
Rarely do I bother with straight-up, “you’ve heard this,” “I’ve heard this,” “everyone has heard this” black metal, from Norway even. The greats are mere vessels of fandom, or gone, the LPs keep getting repressed for who knows what reason, and aside from a track or two out of an entire discography, most of […]
